I. Vixen VMC95L Telescope Description
Vixen's VMC 95L is a small telescope with big ambitions. With a curved vane Secondary Mirror Spider to reduce diffraction effects, this small telescope performs like its larger cousins the VMC110L, and VMC200L. With excellent light gathering, you will tour the surface of the moon or view planets with ease. Take this lightweight telescope everywhere. The Vixen VMC95L Modified Cassegrain telescope features sharp optics combined with portability. The built-in focuser slides the primary mirror. The VMC95L also contains a built-in 1.25" diagonal and straight-through camera port. Photography is easy. Attach your camera to the telescope and view through the eyepiece then slide the diagonal and take a picture of your target. Includes one eyepiece and a red dot finder. 5 Year Warranty.

II. Vixen Mini Porta Mount Description
For so many years the beginning astronomer was forced to buy a mount that was unstable and almost useless when viewing at high power. More often than not, the frustration of using an unstable mount resulted in the telescope only being used for one night and being left in a closet to collect dust. The Porta mount changed all that. It is one of Vixen's proudest designs. The combination of smooth movement, rigid design and stable platform makes your first use a pleasure and will bring you back to view more and more of the night sky.
The Vixen Mini-Porta comes equipped with two fine adjustment handles for whole circle slow motion in both directions - very useful in searching and tracking celestial objects. Manually point your telescope and friction holds your position. In addition, these are great mounts for terrestrial viewing. Vixen's gear drives make it a simple matter to precisely track a planet or a ship on the horizon by simply turning the elevation and/or azimuth control handles. This sturdy observing base weighs just 6 lbs but will hold scopes up to 8 lbs. The world standard dovetail attachment system on the Mini PORTA was developed by Vixen. This allows the Mini PORTA to accept various dovetail mounted optical tubes and binoculars.
